4.2
INSTALLATION OF CABLE
6.1
General
Cable drums shall not be transported in any other position than vertical.
During the installation and jointing, cables must not be stood on.
6.2
6.3
Cable Pulling
Where bends in conduits are encountered in a run, the cables shall be lubricated with a
cable pulling lubricant, supply item # OC8050, to facilitate drawing in. Petroleum based
products are not acceptable. During installation operations, cables, both 11 kV and low
voltage, must not be bent to a radius of less than 12 times the overall diameter of the
cable. These conditions shall be strictly adhered to, particularly where cables turn into
road crossings, conduit entry, etc.
Rollers must be used where cables are installed in an open trench using a pulling rope and
eye, cable rollers are to be used at frequent intervals to support the cables and must never
be more than 3 metres apart. Care must be taken to ensure that the cable does not enter
or leave the rollers at an angle that exceeds the bending radius of the cable.
The rollers are to be placed securely to prevent movement. Before driving any spikes to
secure the rollers, care must be taken to avoid other utilities' equipment, which may exist
below. The pulling rope must be equipped with a swivel and be attached to the cable by a
stocking grip with pulling eye.
The plant used to pull cable shall be firmly anchored, before the pull commences, to stop
the winch from moving with subsequent uneven pulling of the cable. The cable shall be
drawn into the trench smoothly with a minimum of stops and at an average speed of
between 9-12 metres per minute, to avoid irregular movement.
The maximum pulling tension when installing cables by mechanical equipment using a
stocking grip shall not exceed the figures in the following table.

6.
Cable
Tension (kN)
All cable ends must be temporarily sealed by the use of caps secured with electrical tape
after cable laying. This requirement applies to 11kV cable and LV cable at all service pit
positions.
Where it is required to bury the sealed cable ends, the bare cable sheath must be protected
with two heat shrink caps, applied separately. 11kV cables must not be energised with
this method of cable end seal.
At the conclusion of a cable pull, all cable ends shall be sealed prior to those ends being
secured to the inner and outer drum flange. The sealing of cable ends must be butyl
rubber plus insulation tape wrapping as a minimum.
Rollers shall be placed in such locations that may be subjected to heavy rubbing by the
cable. Pulling speeds of not greater than 8 metres per minute only may be used for
pulling cables into conduits. 11 kV cables are not to be pulled into conduits in which
there has been installed low voltage cables and vice versa.
7.
CABLE JOINTING
7.1
General
In HV cable installations the number of cable joints must be kept to a minimum. All
proposed HV joints must be shown on the design plan and approved prior to installation.
7.2
Site Preparation
The jointer must ensure that the joint bay or location where work on cables is to be
performed, is not filled with water and the joint or termination can be completed without
being contaminated by foreign matter.
If necessary, the joint bay sides shall be covered with tarpaulin sheets to prevent foreign
matter from falling on the joint during the jointing process. Moisture contamination from
rainfall must be prevented by providing a cover over the joint bay.

Conductor Preparation
All bare aluminium cable ends and mating surfaces must be wire brushed and greased
with compound containing zinc oxide, prior to the fitting of compression connectors.
Refer to E1010 for details.
Greasing of bolted connections is essential to prevent the ingress or corrosive elements
and oxidisation of the conducting surfaces. Connections in the underground network
which require greasing include the following:
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
(e)
(f)
Shell Alvania R3 or equivalent grease shall be used for connections (a) and (b). Alminox
or equivalent conducting compound with zinc powder particles shall be used for
connection (c) (d) (e) and (f). After the application of Alminox to the conductor and lug
face, wire brushing shall be performed (wet brushing).
Once compressed, all aluminium connectors and lugs shall be inspected for sharp
protrusions, which must be removed with a file. All connectors and lugs shall be degreased with a solvent.
7.5
Jointing
XLPE insulated cables should be examined for signs of moisture on conductors or
discolouring of copper screen wires. If moisture contamination is discovered, the
affected cable shall be removed and new cable installed. A report shall be submitted to
SA Power Networks prior to jointing.
Joints and terminations shall be completed as per the relevant drawings and instructions
of the URD Manual.
Cable ends shall be adequately supported during the installation of an 11kV straight joint.
If the joint is required to be moved to its final position after jointing, it must be re-heated
with a gas flame to relax any internal pressures after so moving.

7.6
Capped HV Cables
7.7.1 Buried 11kV XLPE 35mm2 & 95mm2 cables
Where any high voltage cable is capped and buried the following must be
undertaken;
1.
Utilise cable pit as per E1926
2.
Cut the cable 450mm above
ground level and remove outer
sheath.
3.
Expose 50mm of the core.
4.
Grease the core with jointing
compound and fold screens
parallel to the cores. Install a
stainless steel 12mm hose
clamp at the start of the
exposed core and over the
screen and tighten. Ensure the
screen wires have maximum
contact with the core.
5.
Bend the screen wires over the
hose clamp and cut off the
excess core.
6.
Wrap the exposed core and
screen in butyl rubber and apply
insulation tape over the butyl
rubber.
7.
Roughen the outer sheath with emery paper and install a heat shrink cap.
For 95mm2 cable the 300mm2 cap may be required.
8.
Bend the cable and push the capped end into the base of the caisson.
9.
Install destination label on the cable at the top of the bend / pit.
Note: When the cable is ultimately straight jointed the bent section MUST
be discarded as the radius of the bent cable is below the minimum bending
radius.
7.7.2 Buried 11kV XLPE 300mm2 & 630mm2 cables
The concept of section A can also be utilised for capped and buried 300mm2 and
630mm2 cables. The cable needs to kept vertical in the caisson and cut just below
the ground level. The caisson may need to be cut in half to facilitate the sealing
and then zip tied together on completion of the capping.
7.7.3 Any XLPE 11kV cable end not terminated and not buried
Where any XLPE high voltage cable is coiled and capped and not buried, ie coiled
at the top of a pole in readiness for outdoor terminations, steps 3 to 7 in section
7.7.1 above are to be carried out.
